They figured way wrong. By signing a three-year qualifying offer worth $17.4 million Tuesday from the Charlotte Bobcats , Varejao and his agent, Dan Fegan, now have ...

FROM THE GREAT WHITE NORTH: WELL DONE DANNY FERRY!
Epic Carnival — by E. Spencer Kyte, Bugs and Cranks D'you know who the key to Cleveland's Eastern Conference Title aspirations was this season? No, not LeBron. It was Anderson Varejao, the crazy-haired Brazilian hustle/energy/glue guy of the Cavaliers. All General Manager Danny Ferry needed to do this off-season was offer Andy a reasonable deal, bring him back to The Q and watch his team march to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics. Anderson Varejao was the key, but he's not anymore. That ship has sailed and you can pretty much give Boston their trip to the Finals. No - Detroit, Orlando and Miami don't have a chance. ...

Dan Fegan could learn a thing or two from Lon Babby
Cavs Board — [image] Last time this year, the Cavs were absent from the free agent market.  They had no first round draft pick to groom, and following an NBA Finals appearance, the biggest priority for Cleveland fans was locking up Anderson Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic to contract renewals.   The 2007 NBA playoffs had seen Pavlovic show what he was capable of defensively, and while still a very streaky offensive performer with a propensity to force his way into charges and turnovers, most fans hoped to have him back.   Anderson Varejao on the other hand had spent the first three years of his career as a fan favorite.  Fans demanded his return.  After coming to the Cavs as an untested second-round ...
